Instructions

Quinoa

Step 1
Heat a small pot over medium heat. Add sesame oil and rinsed quinoa. Toast quinoa by stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes, then add the water. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 16-18 minutes or until liquid has absorbed. Once cooked, remove from the heat, leave the lid on to steep for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Dressing

Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, chili garlic sauce for heat, tamari for saltiness, or lime juice for acidity. Set aside.

Vegetables

Step 3
Add 1-inch of water to a pot over medium high heat and insert a steamer basket. Once the water is simmering, add the edamame and the broccoli and cover. Cook for 10 minutes to gently thaw the edamame and steam the broccoli. Set aside.

Assembly

Step 4
In a large bowl add the dressing, quinoa, cabbage, kale, red pepper slices, steamed broccoli and edamame and toss to combine. Garnish with fresh lettuce greens and mint.
Step 5
This can be prepared in advance to allow the flavors to amalgamate or can be enjoyed immediately. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
